I fell behind on the show a while ago and wasn't able to watch live tonight, but for the people who stuck it out these past seasons which were kind of awful at times just because they wanted to find out how this big story ended, what a way to be rewarded for loyal viewership. I just .. can't believe they did that.

I honestly think I"m more shocked than I was at what the Good Wife did last week.

I'm totally appalled. They threw nine years of character development out the window. Insane.

And they had this planned all along? And never figured out in nine years what a horrible end to a sitcom that would be? WHY?

BECAUSE TED AND ROBIN WERE MEANT TO BE, DESPITE ALL OF THE TIMES THEY REJECTED ONE ANOTHER FOR VARIOUS REASONS.

Apparently, the writers used "Love in the Time of Cholera" as a base. I love that book and I'm sad that they used it to inspire this dreck.

FOR A SITCOM? There should be rules against that sort of thing.

I don't even watch HIMYM (I'm sort of here for solidarity I guess?) and I couldn't be more WUT about that.

I despise that book (not the book as much as the main character) so somehow this all makes sense.

I could see this working as the end had the series been cancelled after season one or two. But this is JK Rowling epilogue (smile and nod E) levels of holding on to stupid things you wrote way back before the characters changed to where it no longer made sense to go with that first ending

When it didn't get cancelled, I don't understand why they couldn't have just brought on the mother in season 2 or something. Then we'd get to see their life together, and mourn her death, and gradually get used to the idea of Ted/Robin being a thing again. They had so many seasons to work with to tell that story in a way that didn't seem so jarring. It was their own blind attachment to the idea that we couldn't meet the mother until the last second of the last episode.

I actually think I sort of get your HP reference. I live in the world. I hear things.
